A storytelling game of memory, loss, and time.

Five Hundred Year Old Vampire is a multi-player keepsake role-playing game that adapts the award-winning Thousand Year Old Vampire by Tim Hutchings into a new collaborative play experience. Players become vampires chronicling centuries of existence.

Play unfolds across five ages, each represented by a deck of cards. The Vampires will do things the players would not, both monstrous and awe-inspiring, and players will record these deeds through journaling and creating artifacts.
